My favorite part of Thanksgiving is the day before Thanksgiving. These are the moments before we’ve donned our favorite fall-colored outfits and before the table is set with best china and the house is sparkling. On Thanksgiving-Eve, we dress in jeans and t-shirts that are bound to get messy because it is after all a […]

OK, so PETA’s latest argument is that by drinking milk, because it’s white, we are supporting white supremacy and are racist.So I have a few questions about this line of thinking. Are all babies racist too? They all drink white milk from their mothers no matter what race they are. And by the same token are the mothers and any other animal racist also if they have white breast milk?

Then there’s all the other dairy products made of milk. What about cream? What about cottage cheese? Is butter racist if it’s organic if it’s white? Would it pass the diversity police test if it had beta carotene or color added so it was yellow? What about sour cream and ice cream if it’s vanilla? Chocolate, orange, lime or cherry? Are their certain flavors that are more racist than others? Mint chocolate chip, raspberry swirl, neapolitan or butter pecan depending on the amount of white?

Oh, and what about the different cheeses like Colby Marble Jack Cheese? I mean wouldn’t that be considered culturally diverse?!? Swiss cheese would probably be outlawed because not only is that almost blonde white but you can see right through its foreign policy. Oh and then there’s that greek yogurt… would the white yogurt be racist? Would that include the fruit bottom ones also. Afterall, deep down you just have to stir them up a bit to make them show their real colors. Of course my favorite is the honey greek and that is in real danger.

OH ON!!! I just had an awful thought. What about whipping cream? That has got to be the most racist of all. How can Jewish, Christians, Catholics, African Americans, any group that believes in the bible and knows of Jesus being whipped and the horrific whipping of slaves use whipping cream when it’s white?!? I for one am shocked. We must all be racist. Of course their is 1/2 and 1/2 which helps to bring together the understanding that racism is wrong and diversity is inclusive, but why is it all one color – white? Hmmm… What am I going to do? Ah, I could use Cool Whip? I wonder if that’s ok because it’s non-dairy even though it’s white. Whew!

I feel like I am going to freak out before I can even go into the dairy section from now on!?!? And what happens to organic if we can’t have almond milk, or coconut milk, or rice milk? Will that be too offensive to the orientals because rice milk is white too? HELP….I don’t know what to do…?!?!? STOP! WAIT?!?

I’t going to be fine. Sue, my PCA is going with me down to Dragon Foods Oriental Market for our bi-weekly shopping trip. My neighbor will come over to teach me her favorite Nigerian Recipe and we’ll have some soothing moroccan tea I just got from the Indian shop down the road last week when I had to have my wheelchair fixed. Later on this weekend, we can relax with our friends who got back from visiting family in El Salvador. I have already got the Tortilla press ready that she gave me years ago for homemade corn tortillas before I got disabled. My hubby will make some yummy black bean soup and rice and we can have blackened chicken breasts with that for dinner. Dessert – Red Bean past, with sticky rice and mangos for dessert and I think we’ll be free and clear with no culture crisis. YEAH!

DEEP BREATH! Now breathe in breathe out, just be calm. No need to get all uptight. Now get yourself a nice tall glass of cold white milk and enjoy!!

First I was totally disgusted and horrified by the photo and the video. Then I was a little more forgiving because I thought of all the times I have done something REALLY monumentally stupid that I wish I could change. And then I saw the press conference and I started throwing up words that seemed to fly out onto the screen. So here they are. I just needed to vent.

Anne’s Blog of Lamentations Chapter 1: Griffin

THE ANALYSIS

OVERVIEW – The Photoshoot, The Backlash, The Apology, The Lawsuit – The “Trump Made Me Do It” Defense – Fail, Fail, EPIC Fail.

THE RECIPE for DISASTER:

Step 1) Comedian(Griffin) and photographer(Tyler) EPIC FAIL PHOTOSHOOT- Worst Idea Ever – Copy ISIS Decapitating Journalists on the Internet? Seriously? She entertained our troops?! (HELLO…there were a bunch of other people there and NO ONE stops them?!?)

Step 2) 2nd Worst Idea Ever – Take digital video evidence of pretending to decapitate the President like ISIS did Journalists, then confess that you knew it was a crime!! “… Tyler and I are not afraid to do images that make noise… and he often lights me to the point that I look about 15 years old.” (Pedophile?) … (high five) … call your dad and apologize… I don’t think we’re going to survive this one… we better leaven now for Mexico… we’re going to prison…”

Step 4) Say it again only funnier – Terrorizing an 11-year-old boy, a man’s family, his GRANDCHILDREN, desecrating the office of the President because you decided that it was FUNNY to put up a fake image identical to the ones of ISIS killers do when holding up bloody decapitated Journalist’s heads in gruesome detail. including peaceful Muslims, Christians, Gays and other victims of terror attacks worldwide…LAUGH NOW…APPLAUSE LIGHT ON!!!

**** PERSONAL NOTE: What in the name of all that is sacred would make a person do that?!?****

Step 6) OOPS! Too much severe backlash without Trump doing anything. More than expected. Squatty Potty CEO looked at the image and said he immediately knew they couldn’t have their brand associated with her. Trump had NOTHING to do with that. CNN, Las Vegas Casino and other venues cancelled her contracts and even Chelsey Clinton, would not have come out and condemned her, unless she was in the wrong, did so on the VIEW. Many of them hate Trump enough that they would have kept her just to spite him, but what she did went beyond any boundaries of what is not only acceptable but all the way to being illegal as well.

Step 9) That’s it, “The Devil made me do it! Everyone will love me again….” So dressed in her cute outfit she had bought two weeks ago that would be perfect for her emotional plea as the cameras were flashing, this time with just the right amount of lipstick and a slight curl to her hair, but not too much, powdered nose so the shine wouldn’t take away from the tears that would every so lightly bounce and trickle slightly down her cheek, but not actually tear stained because we made sure to have water proof mascara, not to ruin the effect, but the shine on her lashes would glisten as she pursed her lips and looked down and slightly bobbed her head three times, the words she had rehearsed in front of that mirror the night before… “He broke me,” not too fast, break a little, “He broke me,” a little higher and faster at the end and then slow look down, “He broke me…” begin to weep a little… the President …pause…. Etc. Etc. Etc. But you get my point. It had to be perfect. The right amount of, I can fight, I am not afraid, with the just a little, I am a victim even though I just victimized an 11-year-old boy and the POTUS grandchildren, and forget about the other people worldwide…because they don’t count, and of course it doesn’t matter that we won’t forgive him for saying something when I myself say horrible awful vial things all the time, because I call myself a comedian, but now that I cut his head off in a sick joke, well, I should be able to sue him. Right?!?! Because uh…uh…. uh…. EPIC FAIL! Step

10) WAIT…Ted Nugent did it…Uh No! He was making a metaphor about a gun rights regarding a senator and he was speaking about a specific topic at a rock and roll concert, not a picture online. AND when the secret service investigated he didn’t argue he cooperated and he didn’t sue President Obama and he didn’t go on talk shows inciting violence against President Obama. Kind of apples to oranges. Hmmm…grasping at straws comes to mind, but I will stop there.

Question for all you brilliant minds out there:
How is it Trump’s fault that she lost her job with CNN?
Or Squatty Potty as they “dumped her” within such a short time of the photo being out there? The CEO actually said he decided immediately when he saw the photo that they could not have someone like that associated with their company brand.
Her face would flush their profits down the “toilet”.
OOPS, I made fun of a comic, is that allowed?
How about all the other shows that were cancelled?
All of the “back-splash” is HER OWN DOING. Not even Trump has that kind of power.
Since threatening the life of the President of the United States is clearly illegal and warrants an investigation that carries the possible charges of treason,
perhaps it’s time to think of a better defense then,
Trump tweeted that his 11-year-old son was having a hard time seeing a picture of his dad’s bloody decapitated head. OOPS! Guess you lost that argument.
Better have your lawyer get back to work on how do you make that online confession
go away before the next episode of America’s Dumbest Criminals.

There are many aliens in the United States today, both legally and illegally, who are faced with the dilemma of supporting either themselves or their families financially, both here in the United States and back home in their country of origin. The conflict that these aliens face is determining exactly how they are planning to survive while here in the U.S. Many aliens are here on B-2 Tourist Visas. Under the Immigration and Nationality Act, any alien present in the U.S. on a B-2 Visa is prohibited from accepting employment while visiting the U.S.

Unfortunately, despite this prohibition, there are some aliens who have secured or attempted to secure employment while only holding a B-2 Tourist Visa. Some aliens have done this by making a false claim of U.S. citizenship to a private employer on an I-9 Employment Eligibility Verification Form. This is a costly mistake that will not only…

If you watched any of the recent presidential election results, you may have noticed a recurring theme. As traditionally blue states turned red, a common phrase heard among reporters was that the “uneducated rural community” had made a larger turnout than what was expected. As a member of the rural community, which is quite educated might I add, I saw a few things wrong with this statement.

First, the political affiliations of a certain group of people should in no way merit the assumption of education, or lack thereof. In a society that claims to be open to all walks of life and discourages the labeling of cultural groups, I felt that the way rural voters were viewed was quite misguided.

Secondly, the definition of “uneducated” is the lack of education. Nowhere in that definition do I see that the lack of an Ivy League education or a formal college…

In less than 24 hours since Donald Trump has been named the President-elect of the greatest nation on this earth, it’s become apparent he’s being given far more credit than he’s due. There’s anguished cries of, ‘How will my children grow up knowing not to discriminate?’ or, ‘How can I look my daughter in the eye and tell her she has purpose?’ Really? Really, America? You have given Donald Trump, a mere mortal man, far more credit than he deserves, especially considering the man hasn’t even taken office yet. Trump does not have the power to mold our families, that is our flat-out our responsibility.

Your children will learn to love or hate, be respectful or disrespectful, wise or foolish, not by the character of the family in the White House, but by the family in their house. May I submit to you that your sons and daughters will be…

On November 9, 2016, one of two people will be president. Hillary Clinton or Donald Trump. NOT voting is to spit on the sacrifice of every man and woman who have given their lives fighting for our freedom and for those serving in our armed services today. It is not only our DUTY as Christians to vote, but it is one of our most important responsibilities. Then what do you do when people who believe in biblical values are questioning why even vote when neither candidate would even be a consideration in another election cycle? We simply search the scriptures and it gives us very CLEAR guidance. God says, that whoever is not against you is for you.

Luke 9:49 – 50 Berean Study Bible – “Master,” said John, “we saw someone driving out demons in Your name, and we tried to stop him, because he does not accompany us.” “Do not stop him, Jesus replied, for whoever is not against you is for you.”

We cast the first stone at a flawed candidate but God has given us a man who, as flawed as he is, has apologized directly, said he is embarrassed, hates what he was and promises to be a better man. How do we know this is true? The Bible shows us in Proverbs 13:20: “He that walketh with wise men shall be wise: but a companion of fools shall be destroyed.”

Look at the WISE decisions he has made in who he chose as his running mate and the men and women of integrity he has standing with him as his faith advisers. Mike Pence – Christian, Dr. James Dobson, Dr. Ben Carson, Dr. David Jeremiah, and many others. Including the clear direction from Franklin Graham, although not endorsing a candidate that voting for the candidate who will appoint conservative supreme court justices.

These are the people who will be speaking into his life as Trump not only grows in his faith, that is changing him as he is out on the campaign trail, but also as he realized how careless his life has been. He wants to take the talents that were God-given and use them to bless America. That is a man I can look at and say, “You may have been foolish before, just like many of us, but you are making some significant decisions that I believe qualify you much more than your opponent. The Clintons have both been proven to have not only lied to the American people, but have done it MULTIPLE times.

Secondly, when you fill in a vote or vote for someone other than Trump, you are casting a vote for Hillary Clinton. Don’t deceive yourself and think that you are morally on higher ground. You will have to answer for the policies and laws that are contrary to God’s Word and are brought in by a liberal supreme court with justices who are there for LIFE. That means the next 40 – 100 years will be Satan’s playground as our country slips further and further from God and your children and grandchildren will be the ones left suffering because of your decisions.

In Nazi Germany, many Christians broke the law, but they did it to SAVE Jews and others, who were being killed to “cleanse” the population including, minorities, homosexuals, disabled people and anyone who opposed Hitlers actions. Was it wrong? No. God says to be shrewd as snakes and innocent as doves. Is it possible for God to use a flawed man who has specifically committed to upholding religious freedom, supporting Israel, appointing Supreme Court Justices who are anti-abortion?

YES! Why?

Because if God can tell a prophet to marry a prostitute, speak through a donkey to Balaam and use an arrogant Pharisee who used to kill Jews to actually bring the gospel to the Jews, God can use anyone. Especially one who is willing to admit his own failures and confesses His sinfulness, stating he is ashamed of his past and is willing to be a better person.

Hosea 1:2, 2 When the Lord first spoke to Hosea, the Lord told him, “Marry a prostitute and have children with that prostitute. The people in this land have acted like prostitutes and abandoned the Lord.” Hosea was obedient and he ended up marrying a woman named Gomer who was unfaithful. The children of Israel were doing exactly what America is doing today. We are abandoning the biblical principles our country was founded on.

What happened? Hosea 3:1 tells us at after Gomer had left Hosea and was living in immorality, the Lord commanded Hosea to find and redeem her and take her back. In the same way, I believe that just like God wanted to show His amazing grace and mercy through Hosea’s faithful love of Gomer, God shows us that even though we have been unfaithful He will redeem us but we must act accordingly. It may not look like we think it should, but it will non-the-less bring God’s blessing back on America because we will make sure the Supreme Court stops funding the murder of the unborn, will support Israel and recognize the rights of faith based communities to religious freedom.

Would you have voted for any of the following people who God chose?

King David sinned with Bathsheba (Had her husband killed)

Moses was a murderer

Peter cut off someone’s ear and denied Christ three times and cursed His name

I suppose we would have rejected all these people as well. BUT we would have been wrong! What about Mary, a virgin who gets pregnant, would you have judged her too? Maybe you would have written articles about her being an adulteress, a slut, sexually sinful and called her child, a bastard son. Or would you have realized it was the Son of God?

If Hillary Clinton and her democratic agenda, supported by her corrupt campaign staffers, gets elected, then every voter who could have helped prevent it, will share the responsibility of the resulting laws and policies that will redefine the constitution of our country. Her appointed pro-abortion, anti-Israel, anti-religious freedom, open boarders, etc… supreme court Justices will make decision after decision that kills millions of children in the womb and enslaves our population by legislating our religious freedoms so that any Christians including Catholics, Protestants, Jews, Evangelicals, etc…etc….etc… will not be able to state their beliefs of traditional marriage, protect families rights, support the right to life, or even pray in the name of Jesus because it will have been obliterated from our society as we know it. Hillary herself declared that religious beliefs MUST change!

Here in the US Christian business owners are being persecuted, Americans are being encouraged to protest by refusing to stand for the national anthem or salute the flag, law and order is sneered at, police are being targeted, radical terrorists are killing our friends, neighbors and people in our communities and promoting racial division is the norm.

We have ONE CHANCE to not destroy our nation. It is to realize that if you choose not to vote for Trump you will carrying the responsibility for the blood of all the unborn and all the other decisions that come from a liberal supreme court.

As for me and my house, we will do what we know is right and stand for those who do not have a voice, the unborn, the persecuted, the ones ISIS is killing and vote for Trump and Pence. I refuse to explain to the next generation why my arrogance destroyed this country. I hope you will prayerfully consider your choice this November 8, 2016.

James 4:17 – “Therefore, whoever knows the right thing to do, yet fails to do it, is guilty of sin.”

I have to agree with this 100%. It IS NOT ABOUT THE CANDIDATES ANYMORE…they are both FLAWED…BUT it is about the next 30 – 40 years of Liberal or conservative supreme court justices that will determine the fate of our country morally and in every way!
